Modern facility • Friendly staff

Your lab tests, handled with care

A calm environment, trained professionals and modern equipment – designed to make your testing experience as smooth as possible.

From the moment you step into the spacious waiting area, you are welcomed by a friendly receptionist and a relaxed atmosphere. After a short wait, you are escorted to a private room for your blood draw or other sample collection.

Many people are nervous about needles or uncomfortable with blood tests. That is why Health Care Laboratory focuses on using the smallest amount of blood needed for each examination, while still providing reliable and comprehensive results.

Less blood, same high quality results.
For several common exams, other labs may require multiple vials of blood. At Health Care Laboratory, advanced analyzers help minimize the number of tubes, which can make the experience easier and more comfortable, especially if you are sensitive to blood draws.

Your privacy and comfort first

Discreet testing, modern sample handling and options for both residents and visitors.

  • Anonymous-style barcoding: samples are processed under a code and number, following Dutch and US-style systems, so that staff working with the samples do not see your full personal details.
  • Respectful, private environment: you are seen in a private room and treated with discretion, whether you come for routine screening or more sensitive tests.
  • Walk-in friendly: walk-in patients are welcome, and the team will do their best to accommodate you promptly.
  • Insurance options: the laboratory works with major insurance providers on the Dutch side of the island, including Nagico, Ennia and SZV, and also accepts cash and credit card payments.
  • Visitors welcome: if you are visiting Sint Maarten / Saint Martin and wish to benefit from the island’s medical services, you can come directly to the lab.
  • Some tests without GP referral: for specific basic tests such as a diabetes check, a CBC or certain STD screenings, you may not need to see your general practitioner first. If the lab finds anything that requires follow-up, they will advise you to seek medical care.
